It works soooo well with our already bought living room furniture and will look amazing once we paint 🙌🏻 Do you think that’s my favourite saying, because that’s all I keep saying 😂 Done with these bland white walls!

Still very much in love with our rustic dining table from next as we were when we bought it a couple of years ago! And thankfully we managed to get 4 more matching chairs 2 years later, since we no longer have our booth! Perfectly compliments our new kitchen diner! I keep saying it, but we just need colour now!

No transformation Tuesday here this week, but hope No transformation Tuesday here this week, but hopefully next!🤞 We still have a 5 day wait until our wardrobes are delivered and that’s our biggest set back at the mo. Both bedroom 2 & 3 are full of clothes and unpacked boxes 📦 As daft as it may sound, getting these new wardrobes should be a real relief and the turning point for our upstairs! 
-
Aside from that, we still have lots of pieces to shop for our lounge and bedroom! If only that’s what I could do all day rather than work, ay! Where’s your favourite place to shop furniture? I’d love to hear your recommendations 🙌🏻

It’s a good morning Monday from me 🌊 The beau It’s a good morning Monday from me 🌊 The beautiful Sunday sunshine certainly made up for the drizzle we had on Saturday. We soaked up the sunshine and of course the sea breeze, trying to get out of the house, within reason ofcourse. We strolled up and down the seafront several times yesterday and Rhodie was well and truly knackered after. 
I hope you all had a lovely weekend, and a even better week. I myself am so excited for next weekend as it means we finally get our bedroom furniture, including the hotly anticipated wardrobes 🙌🏻

Thankfully we managed to get it done pretty quickly much to our delight. Having a puppy and 20 odd patio slabs for him to do his business on got pretty tedious pretty quickly! 
Now to start the garden planning - I’m actually looking forward to getting green fingered this spring! 👩‍🌾

Despite living in a new build apartment for 4 years before painting, the urge to paint in the new house is so strong. Everything just looks so bare! All white homes tell me your secrets!

Being safe, your Holiday Vaccines and Zika Virus.

You may well know, we are heading off in a couple of months to our honeymoon in Koh Samui and Singapore. As we get closer to the trip, we get more and more excited as is expected. Like any new destination visit, we have taken to our doctors for advice on the health risks we could face, and any precautions we should embark on before we hit the sand.

I hate vaccinations, but with visiting rather a tropical destination, we wanted to be safe. Thankfully, we didn’t have to have anything nasty, but we were advised on a lot that we wouldn’t have known unless we looked or asked.

And it got me thinking, how many people actually ask these questions or research into risks when heading off on holiday? Are we being over the top? Do we protect ourselves effectively against health risks?

Here’s some of the risks we all should consider before boarding the plane.

Read : Our Honeymoon details and booking. 

Insurance

When booking any holiday, insurance should be purchased too. You may not intend to do any dangerous sports or activities, but health insurance may be needed for the most mundane of reasons, or unexpected! Lacking in travel insurance could leave you penniless if needing medical attention out of the EU.

Vaccines

Many locations impose risk to virus’ and infections, some of which can be avoided with vaccines. Many of the countries we visit need no vaccines, however, some of the more exotic locations do carry risk and so vaccines are advised.

For advice on the immunisations you may need for your upcoming trip, visit Fit for travel or Travel Health Pro for advice on your destination and possible outbreaks.

Zika Virus – Location dependant 

We have all heard of the Zika virus since a large outbreak back in 2015. And despite it no longer making headline news or the news at 10, it is still active and effective, even today.

Whilst the Zika virus is no killer, and many of those infected neither know it, or suffer from just a quick bout of flu like symptoms, it can have a knock on effect months after being to an affected country.

The main concerns with the Zika Virus is the complications it can cause to pregnant women, and couples looking to conceive up to 6 months after visiting an affected area. If you are unsure if your upcoming destination carries risk of the Zika Virus, check out the Gov website. It regularly updates the risk of Zika in multiple countries and offers advice to those travelling.

If you are looking to try for a baby after visiting an effected country, seek medical advice. The NHS website does advise against couples trying for a baby within 6 months after visiting a moderate to high risk country. Up to 6 months, there is a risk of the Zika virus within your male partner, possibly causing complications to a baby, including abnormally small heads (microcephaly).

If you are visiting an affected area, reduce the risk of Zika Virus but using inset repellent, and wearing loose clothing to cover your arms and legs.

Repellent

Even if the risk of Zika is not present, it’s well worth repelling mosquitoes as much as you can. It may be a pain in the bum, but try and cover yourself nightly. It’s much better than the pesky bites they leave you with, and the germs and / or infection they might carry with it.

Medicine

With any holiday, there is a chance you will get a headache, eat something your tummy doesn’t agree with, or suffer from something inconvenient. It’s well worth packing a supply of pain killers, paracetamol and diarrhoea tablets just encase, as many countries lack in basic pain relief, or charge the earth for it .

Sun cream

Do not go on holiday without sufficient sun cream. And don’t believe that burning is part of the tanning process. It is not. Protect you and your skin effectively from the sun with high factor sun cream lotion. Be sure to re-apply every couple of hours, and try an avoid the midday day rays, as this is when the sun is at its highest.

I really hope this post of mine will help some of you out there. This post isn’t to scare you from visiting far away places, just rather open your eyes to the risks you could be open to. Without really looking, or speaking to a health advisor, many tourists can be oblivious to the health risks and virus that are active. Always seem medical advice if you are concerned, and be sure to check your immunisations are up to date. The NHS can offer boosters for many vaccinations, so be sure to speak to your doctor 8-10 weeks before you travel.

Are you heading anywhere exotic this summer? 

Have you sought medical advise?
